World of Warcraft: Legion brings many new legendaries into the game – we show you the top 5 coolest effects.
When the piglet drops the legendary cloak …
Reading the game files of Legion has revealed many new items that will be introduced with the upcoming World of Warcraft expansion. In contrast to previous versions of the game, legendary items are not awarded through special questlines, but instead dropped randomly in the world.
Blizzard wants to revive a feeling from Classic. Back then, there were random drops, although these were “only” of epic quality. However, they often had unique effects, such as triggering frost novas or a thorn aura.
Since epic items in the current World of Warcraft do not represent any special quality anymore, they had to raise the bar a bit. We present to you our top 5 new legendaries.
Rank 5: Grovewalkers – Endless Healing?
In last place on this list are the Grovewalkers because I suspect there is still an error. These agility/strength shoes for leather wearers grant the player a healing effect as long as the character does not move. The buff starts at 50,000 healing every 3 seconds and stacks up to 10 times. That would be 500,000 healing for a stationary tank; I can only imagine this is an error in the files – otherwise, healers will be jobless soon and everyone will only want druids.
Rank 4: Mantle of Ashildir – Mind Control for Dummies
The Mantle of Ashildir works like the classic gnome mind control cap; it allows you to control an enemy with fewer hit points than you. This enemy then serves you for a specific duration, and you can use their abilities. Essentially a temporary pet for all classes that do not yet have companions.
Rank 3: Helzstone – Limited Invincibility
The Helzstone has a certain RNG factor, but it is extremely exciting. The ring has a 10% chance to avoid all damage on every attack. Yes, this also applies to a 20-second boss cast that would normally one-hit any player. Even if you look at it more soberly and do not rely on RNG, the ring reduces the damage taken by an average of 10% – every tank will appreciate that.
Rank 2: Wilfred’s Hood of Superior Summoning – Advanced Demon Summoning
The hat of the legendary gnome Wilfred Fizzlebang, who summoned the Eredarlord Jaraxxus during the Argent Tournament. A clear warlock item, as it removes the casting time of all demons and increases their damage by a whopping 20%.
Rank 1: Soulweave – The Instant Soulstone for All Players
Healers will be fighting over Soulweave. All healing spells create a buff named “Eternal Warrior” on the players. If affected players should die during this time, 20% of the healer’s maximum mana will be deducted instead, and the dying player will be healed to their full HP value.
What do you think of these legendaries? Exciting idea or too short-sighted?
